CN arrives in Ft. Lauderdale
CN made it to Ft. Lauderdale by Nov 18th after leaving Norfolk on 11/4….just ahead of all the rain and flooding. The outside route was taken all the way down…it’s what boats with 65′ masts have to do. Stops were in Charleston for fuel/showers, Cape Canaveral for fuel and to wait out Ida, Riviera Beach (Cracker Boy) for haul-out, bottom paint and an insurance survey. The day before getting Canaveral was very windy and 15′ seas as the high in the Bahamas dumped air into Ida
All told it took 8 sea days from Norfolk to Ft. Lauderdale. Six days for Norfolk to Canaveral, overnight from Canaveral to Riviera Beach and a daysail for Riviera Beach to Ft. Lauderdale. A mix of friends and paid crew were onboard keeping the crew at 4 for all the passages going overnight and two for daysails. Special thanks to Rob Lee, CJ. Ed Gray, Rabbit, Gray Twombly and Alex Buckingham for making the trip safe, enjoyable and without major mishap.
CN is now available for charters to the Keys and Bahamas and will likely spend much of the time in the Eleuthera and Exuma. See www.svcomfortablynumb.com for more information on CN and lots of pictures
